Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Intervention group
Participants in the intervention group will be invited to join the mountain craft training programme.
Intervention
The training programme will consist of a 3-hour lecture. The contents of the lecture will include knowledge of mountaineering in Hong Kong, country codes and care for the environment, environmental awareness when undertaking outdoor activities, hiking skills, knowledge and choice of hiking equipment and clothing, trip planning, mountain safety, map reading, the use of a compass, mountain safety, basic first aid, methods of calling for help in an emergency and sources of weather data. After completing the lecture, participants will be required to join a 6-day hiking training programme on weekends within a 3-month period (each training will be at least 5 kilometres and the duration will be at least 4 hours).
Placebo control group
Participants will be invited to join a control intervention that mimics the time and attention received by participants in the intervention group but will be designed to have no specific effect on the outcome variables.
Placebo
Control participants will be asked to join six day-time leisure activities on weekends within a 3-month period. Leisure activities will be organised by the Asbury Methodist Social Service and will include cartoon film shows, handicraft workshops, chess games, health talks on the prevention of influenza and eating a healthy diet, and day visits to a museum and theme park. Children in the placebo control group will receive free access to leisure activities, including visits to museums and theme parks as an incentive for his/her participation.
